This session introduces ways to help patients improve their adherence to periodontal care.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • List the reasons why patients may not adhere to treatment for periodontal diseases and conditions
  • Identify recall strategies which can be used by patients to improve their adherence to treatment for periodontal diseases and conditions

Poor adherence to treatment is well recognised, and significantly contributes to treatment failures in medical and dental interventions.

Approximately 50% of patients do not take prescribed treatments as recommended and, across the various recommendations made by clinicians, between 15% and 93% of patients do not act on recommendations.
